Finding an appointment to see a GP can sometimes feel as rare as hen’s teeth these days, with already overworked doctors busier than ever before.

MedClinic Kiama has addressed the community demand for trusted, quality GPs by recently employing two new doctors at the practice, which has been providing healthcare to the region for more than a decade.

“Kiama is a small community, and our doctors, nurses and administration team pride ourselves on knowing our patients on a first-name basis and providing quality care and treatment for multi-generations of families,” said practice manager Nada Vukovic.

The practice employs five doctors, Dr Linda Moore, Dr Jonathan Bala, Dr Abdel Mohamed, Dr Jacqueline Wong, Dr John Oh and two new GPs Dr Haleh Samai and Dr Feng Guo.

Each Tuesday, Dr Bala provides skin cancer checks and is accredited to carry out skin excision and minor surgeries where required.

Dr Mohamed specialises in alternative treatment for patients suffering from chronic conditions where other treatments have failed to provide relief.

These conditions can include osteoarthritis, back pain, neuropathic pain, fibromyalgia, endometriosis, anxiety, depression and/or mood disorders, insomnia, PTSD, ADHD, inflammatory bowel disease and cancer-related symptoms.

Dr Mohamed bulk bills all standard appointments, however fees apply for alternative medicine consultations.

MedClinic’s other GPs, Dr Moore, Dr Wong, Dr Oh, Dr Samai and Dr Guo currently bulk bill all patients.

MedClinic welcomes all patients, with or without a Medicare card. They are open Saturdays and these appointments are bulk billed.

“Our practice is fully accredited with GPA 5th Edition Standards which means patients are getting the best safety and quality standard of care,” Nada added.

MedClinic is located at 10/65 Manning street with on-street parking available.

Books are open for new patients, who should arrive 15 minutes before their scheduled appointment to complete a registration form.
